Michigan Age for Purchasing Handgun, not Concealing

123

I am wondering how old a person has to be in order to purchase a handgun in the state of Michigan. I am 18 years old and hunt with my Remington 700 but want a handgun to shoot and practice with. I have heard rumors that you can buy one at 18 but cant conceal carry it. I am just wondering if anyone knows for sure. Thanks.

P.S. Im noob so I hope this is in the right spot. If not, im sure a mod will just move it.

In the State of Michigan you have to be 21 tp purchase a handgun. same with ccw and to rent one. At 18 you shoot at the range and .
can have one transfered into your name. I was told it has to be transfered by a legal gardian but I don't think that is correct. I live in Royal Oak, MI and just went through this with my nephew (19)
Hang in there you don't have long to wate.

As you can see, you're starting to get different views points here. Contact your local PD and find out the answer from them. As I always say, never seek legal advice on an internet forum. If the person you listen to is wrong and you get in hot water, the "But BigDaddy223 on Hand Gun Forum said it was OK" defense is not going to hold much weight.

I've noticed that some local authorities claim only relatives may transfer the firearm, however the state website does not say that...just being 18 is good enough.

I'm not sure if that's just poor wording on either of their parts, or if the local gov'ts are making it a little more strict.

As stated....call and ask. It'd be pretty dumb to lose your handgun because someone here gave you wrong info. We're not laywers...
